Common questions in Benhall

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Benhall?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Benhall, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
