Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • 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 get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When to call us in The Rock

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

FAQs for The Rock

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you cover The Rock?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to The Rock and the rest of Caerphilly. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for The Rock. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

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