What else we do in Bargate
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bargate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Bargate
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
If you are in Bargate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bargate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Signs you need sink repair in Bargate
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
