Landlords, agents and businesses in Normanton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Normanton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Common questions in Normanton

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover Normanton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Normanton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
