FAQs for Smithy Bridge
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Smithy Bridge.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
What affects the price in Smithy Bridge
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Smithy Bridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Smithy Bridge
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smithy Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Smithy Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
