Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poundsbridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common questions in Poundsbridge

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Poundsbridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Poundsbridge and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
