Landlord and trade work in Fawdon
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fawdon. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Fawdon, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
