FAQs for Bickenhill
Can pets and children be at home?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
What affects the price in Bickenhill
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks

- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Bickenhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What else we do in Bickenhill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
