Landlord and trade work in Coniston
For anyone letting property in or around Coniston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Coniston
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Coniston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Coniston
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Coniston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
