Landlord and trade work in Pontlottyn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Pontlottyn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Pontlottyn is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
