For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.
