For anyone letting property in or around Lambton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
