For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Barnsley and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What affects the price in Royston

- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Royston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Royston questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Royston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Royston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
