Landlord and trade work in Temple
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our sink repair in Temple
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about sink repair in Temple
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
