Landlords, agents and businesses in Stock Wood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Stock Wood
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?

Repairing versus replacing in Stock Wood
