Our hiring checklist

Bishopsteignton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Bishopsteignton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bishopsteignton. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ14 postcode.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlord and trade work in Bishopsteignton

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
