Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Replacement in Lane Head means trades, travel and waste removal, while sink repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about sink repair in Lane Head
Can you fix basins at a school or business in Lane Head?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
My house in Lane Head is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Lane Head?

Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Lane Head
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lane Head. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
