Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Henstridge Marsh

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Henstridge Marsh. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Henstridge Marsh, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Henstridge Marsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Henstridge Marsh

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
