Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Sink repair in Nettleham, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Nettleham
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Nettleham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need sink repair in Nettleham?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
