Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we handle sink repair in Baildon

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

What affects the price in Baildon

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What we are called out for in Baildon

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

Baildon: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Baildon.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
