Landlords, agents and businesses in Heronfield

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heronfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Heronfield questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repairing versus replacing in Heronfield

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
