Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foston on the Wolds use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
