Landlord and trade work in Parkgrove

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parkgrove as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Parkgrove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Parkgrove, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Questions from Parkgrove

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.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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.

How much does sink repair cost in Parkgrove?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Common problems we fix in Parkgrove

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
