Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsleycross Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sink repair in Horsleycross Street without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Common questions in Horsleycross Street

Do you come to Horsleycross Street?

We do. We send a technician to Horsleycross Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.
