Landlord and trade work in Hurstbourne Priors

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurstbourne Priors use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a rural address like Hurstbourne Priors, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Questions from Hurstbourne Priors

Do you cover villages like Hurstbourne Priors?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Can you fix basins at a school or business in Hurstbourne Priors?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Hurstbourne Priors

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station (about 2.3 miles north-east) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Older homes around Hurstbourne Priors may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.

Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
