Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bakers Arms. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Bakers Arms
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
