Landlord and trade work in Plumpton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Plumpton

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

What we’re called out for in Plumpton

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

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

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Plumpton

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Plumpton?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Repair or replace in Plumpton?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
