For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Richmond, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Richmond
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
