For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Sink repair at your home in Hogaland
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Hogaland
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hogaland. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hogaland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
