Landlords, agents and businesses in Lilliesleaf
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Lilliesleaf
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Lilliesleaf?
We do. We send a technician to Lilliesleaf for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What affects the price in Lilliesleaf
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
