Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

When to call us in Househillwood

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

A crazed, tired basin
Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Chips around the rim

If you manage a building such as St. Paul's High School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What does sink repair cost?

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:

How easy the damage is to reach
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How hard the colour is to match
Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Natural light rather than flash
Your postcode, so we can check dates
A photo taken from further back
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

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

Store toiletries on a shelf
Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Avoid abrasive pads
Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up. In a smaller place like Househillwood, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we’ll plan for it.

First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
We degrease and key the damage.
Filler is built up and sanded flush.
We match the colour and the gloss.
We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Keep a parking space clear if you can
Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
