Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
