DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hanwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For a price in Hanwood, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Hanwood questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Hanwood?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
