The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tyntetown, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tyntetown: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tyntetown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyntetown
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tyntetown. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Tyntetown and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
