Landlords, agents and businesses in Coton Hayes

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Coton Hayes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What affects the price in Coton Hayes

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

When to call us in Coton Hayes

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
