Landlords, agents and businesses in Colyford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Colyford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
