Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Four Lane Ends: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Four Lane Ends?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Four Lane Ends included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Four Lane Ends
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
