For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

When to call us in Upper Weybread

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Upper Weybread

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Upper Weybread?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Weybread from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
