Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Gransden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
