Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Outlands
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Outlands included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
