Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Most customers in Wilby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Do you need sink repair in Wilby?

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.
