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.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about sink repair in Scorton

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Scorton

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Common problems we fix in Scorton

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
