Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Millbrook

Do you cover the entire of Southampton?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Millbrook?

We do. Technicians travel to Millbrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Millbrook

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Millbrook. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Millbrook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
