Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillesley

For anyone letting property in or around Hillesley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillesley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Most clients in Hillesley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
