For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Padiham

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Padiham. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Padiham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Your questions about sink repair in Padiham

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Padiham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Padiham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
