Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinfen as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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.

Do you need sink repair in Swinfen?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Swinfen

How do I get a price for sink repair in Swinfen?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
