Landlord and trade work in Nettlesworth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Nettlesworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Nettlesworth
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Nettlesworth?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Nettlesworth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Nettlesworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Nettlesworth
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
