Landlord and trade work in Caol
If you manage property in Caol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Caol
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we’re called out for in Caol
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
