Askerswell: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Askerswell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Askerswell

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Askerswell. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Askerswell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Askerswell

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Askerswell

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
