Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Lynmouth

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lynmouth. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Lynmouth questions

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Lynmouth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
