Common questions in Huyton with Roby
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you cover the whole of Knowsley?
Everywhere in the UK, Huyton with Roby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
