Landlord and trade work in Shiremoor
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Shiremoor
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
