Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Pettistree

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pettistree. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Pettistree

Swapping a basin frequently 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Pettistree questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover Pettistree?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pettistree for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

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.
