Landlord and trade work in Coryton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Do you need sink repair in Coryton?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
