Landlord and trade work in Holy Corner
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Holy Corner
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
