Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Abington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Abington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
