Landlords, agents and businesses in Torlundy
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What else we do in Torlundy
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Torlundy
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most clients in Torlundy get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
