Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Signs you need sink repair in West Ilsley

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in West Ilsley

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
