Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in King's Acre, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including King's Acre. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in King's Acre get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
