What else we do in Rewe
Landlord and trade work in Rewe
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rewe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Rewe
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Rewe. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Rewe?
We do. We send a technician to Rewe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Rewe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Rewe clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Rewe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Rewe contact us are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
