Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Washfold, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
