Landlords, agents and businesses in East Ashling

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

East Ashling questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Ashling.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
