Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need sink repair in Whelston
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
