Landlord and trade work in Tadworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take 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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

If you’re in Tadworth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tadworth. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Tadworth questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?
