DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Barkingside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
