Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Up Hatherley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Up Hatherley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
