Landlords, agents and businesses in Keyham
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keyham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need sink repair in Keyham?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Keyham. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keyham questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Keyham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
