Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Sink repair in Walton, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Walton
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
If you are in Walton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Walton
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Walton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Walton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
