Landlord and trade work in Moniaive
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moniaive as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Moniaive
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
