The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Barney questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Barney?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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 Barney clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Barney

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Barney. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Barney

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barney

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
