It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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 Streatley
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
