Landlord and trade work in Oakham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Oakham: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you cover Oakham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oakham and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Oakham.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
