What affects the price in Bampton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bampton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Bampton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bampton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Bampton

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Bampton?

We do. Technicians travel to Bampton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Everywhere in the UK, Bampton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
