Landlord and trade work in Mackworth
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Sink repair in Mackworth without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Mackworth
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Mackworth
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
