Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about sink repair in Sandhurst Cross

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you remove the sink?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are there extra charges for Sandhurst Cross?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
