Landlord and trade work in Clive

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Clive

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are there extra charges for Clive?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Clive included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

Signs you need sink repair in Clive

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
