Landlord and trade work in Woolmer Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolmer Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Woolmer Green questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Woolmer Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Woolmer Green and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
