Landlord and trade work in Trispen
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Trispen questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Trispen. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
