Landlord and trade work in Wiston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wiston. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Wiston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we work on in Wiston

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Wiston

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Common questions in Wiston

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
