Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle sink repair in Woodend
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Woodend
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How much does sink repair cost in Woodend?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your basin is made of matters
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 often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
