Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Saltley questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How much does sink repair cost in Saltley?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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 normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
