Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop Wilton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  • Vanity unit basins

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
