Landlord and trade work in Stanswood
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Stanswood
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Stanswood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Stanswood
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
