Landlord and trade work in Holystone
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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.
Sink repair in Holystone without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Holystone
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Holystone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Same prices wherever you are

- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
