Landlord and trade work in Margaretting Tye
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, 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
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. For a rural home like those around Margaretting Tye, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
