Landlord and trade work in Bockhanger
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bockhanger use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
