Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Herne Pound is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Landlord and trade work in Herne Pound
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Pound as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When to call us in Herne Pound
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
