Landlord and trade work in Quorndon

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Sink repair in Quorndon, done in place

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Common problems we fix in Quorndon

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Quorndon

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Quorndon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
