We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oving. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Oving

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Oving. Our prices are the same everywhere.
