Landlord and trade work in Oborne
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When to call us in Oborne
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Oborne
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
