10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arnos Grove

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arnos Grove. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

Arnos Grove questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

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 do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Arnos Grove.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
