Landlord and trade work in Great Hormead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Great Hormead
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Hormead. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Great Hormead?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
