East Holme: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for sink repair in East Holme?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Holme

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Repair or replace in East Holme?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price
