Landlord and trade work in Pilling

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.
