Landlord and trade work in Ardbrecknish

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardbrecknish as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Sink repair in Ardbrecknish, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Ardbrecknish

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
