Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowgill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Lowgill

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
