Landlord and trade work in Ashton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Ashton: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Ashton?
We do. Technicians travel to Ashton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Inverclyde. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
