Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in High Coniscliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in High Coniscliffe

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Coniscliffe. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in High Coniscliffe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Questions from High Coniscliffe

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover High Coniscliffe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to High Coniscliffe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we’re called out for in High Coniscliffe

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
