Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When to call us in Maltman's Hill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Maltman's Hill: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Maltman's Hill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Maltman's Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Maltman's Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
