Landlord and trade work in South Street

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in South Street

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What we’re called out for in South Street

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in South Street?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
