For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Winterborne Zelston
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Winterborne Zelston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
