Landlord and trade work in Auldhouse

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Auldhouse: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Auldhouse is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
