Landlords, agents and businesses in Theale
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Theale
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does sink repair cost in Theale?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
