Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Landlord and trade work in Fulford

For anyone letting property in or around Fulford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Fulford

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fulford. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
