Hoy questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hoy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Hoy, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hoy. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
