Landlord and trade work in Scarwell
If you manage property in Scarwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Scarwell
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Scarwell?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Scarwell
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
