FAQs for Bathford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What we’re called out for in Bathford
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
