For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Polstead Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
