Our repair technicians come to East Ness for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only

- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

East Ness: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in East Ness?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Ness. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
