Landlord and trade work in Waverton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need sink repair in Waverton?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Waverton
Do you come to Waverton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waverton and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
