Sink Repair for Waldridge homes
Damaged basin in Waldridge? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
