Landlords, agents and businesses in Harefield

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Harefield

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
