Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around West Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

West Moor questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How much does sink repair cost in West Moor?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in West Moor

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
