Landlord and trade work in Burgh-by-Sands
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Burgh-by-Sands
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Burgh-by-Sands and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
