Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hopwas as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for Hopwas
My house in Hopwas is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Do you come out to small places like Hopwas?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. In an older home in a village like Hopwas, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hopwas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
