Landlord and trade work in North Somercotes
For anyone letting property in or around North Somercotes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to North Somercotes. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for North Somercotes
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to North Somercotes?
We do. Technicians travel to North Somercotes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?

Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
