Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Bentinck

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bentinck use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Bentinck

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bentinck. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bentinck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Bentinck: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price
