Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardstoft
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Hardstoft
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Hardstoft?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
