Landlords, agents and businesses in Princelett
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Princelett use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Princelett questions
How much does sink repair cost in Princelett?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Princelett?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What else we do in Princelett
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Princelett. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
