Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Fairseat, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Fairseat
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Fairseat questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we’re called out for in Fairseat
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
The process
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 anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
