Landlord and trade work in Hallowood
For anyone letting property in or around Hallowood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Hallowood
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Hallowood
Do you cover the entire of Moray?
The whole UK, including all of Moray. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
