Irby upon Humber: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
