Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from White Horse Common

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you come to White Horse Common?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to White Horse Common. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Signs you need sink repair in White Horse Common

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
