Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brotton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Brotton

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Brotton. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brotton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Brotton

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Are you accredited?

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
