Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Baldersby. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Baldersby

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you work in Baldersby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Baldersby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Baldersby customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Baldersby

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baldersby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
