Landlord and trade work in Milford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Milford

Do you come to Milford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
