Questions from Bestwood St Albans

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Bestwood St Albans and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
