For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Questions from Washbrook Street
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you cover Washbrook Street?
We do. Technicians travel to Washbrook Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
