Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pin Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Sink repair in Pin Green without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pin Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

Common questions in Pin Green
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How much does sink repair cost in Pin Green?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
