For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in The Platt
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for The Platt
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for sink repair in The Platt?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What else we do in The Platt
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
