Landlord and trade work in Whitehaven
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehaven as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What else we do in Whitehaven
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When to call us in Whitehaven
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
