For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Markham Vale

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Markham Vale.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.

- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Markham Vale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
