How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Landore
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Landore. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Landore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Landore
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Landore
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Landore
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Landore. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
