For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Little Hallingbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Common questions in Little Hallingbury

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
