Landlord and trade work in Preston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
About our sink repair in Preston
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Preston
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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 polish the repair to suit.
