For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around The Bank, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in The Bank
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, The Bank included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in The Bank
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
