For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Carberry
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
