What else we do in Newsome
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newsome use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Newsome
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common questions in Newsome
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kirklees.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
