For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Top Valley: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Top Valley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG5 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
