For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in South Wimbledon

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

Questions from South Wimbledon

Are there extra charges for South Wimbledon?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
