Landlord and trade work in Linnyshaw
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linnyshaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Linnyshaw questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
