Landlords, agents and businesses in Brancaster Staithe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Brancaster Staithe
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- 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.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
