How we handle sink repair in Powderhall
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Powderhall: your questions answered

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Powderhall?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Powderhall
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Powderhall
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Powderhall. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
