Landlord and trade work in Maypole
For anyone letting property in or around Maypole, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Maypole
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
