Landlords, agents and businesses in Etton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Etton

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
