Landlord and trade work in Borestone

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Borestone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

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

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need sink repair in Borestone?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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