Landlords, agents and businesses in Blacknest

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Blacknest

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blacknest. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Blacknest

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
