Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

Kirksanton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
