Work for landlords and builders

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatesheath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Gatesheath: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Gatesheath?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
