Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Avoid abrasive pads
Use mild cleaners only
Keep straighteners away from the basin
Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Plumbing leaks
A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Holywell

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Holywell

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

How much damage there is
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

A wider photo showing the whole basin
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
What it’s made of, if you know
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Holywell: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
The area is degreased and keyed.
We build up the filler and sand it flush.
We match the colour and the gloss.
We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

Let us know which floor the room is on
Have a window or extractor fan available
Tell us about parking, stairs or access
