Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What affects the price in Hazlerigg

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

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 will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Hazlerigg

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hazlerigg?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Hazlerigg?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Hazlerigg

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
