Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Holywell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Holywell
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Holywell. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Holywell, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Holywell
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holywell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place

FAQs for Holywell
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
