Landlord and trade work in Beccles

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Beccles questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Beccles

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
