Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Arclid Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Arclid Green

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Arclid Green

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
