Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need sink repair in Rowell

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Rowell: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we work on in Rowell

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rowell

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
