Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Bicton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bicton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bicton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need sink repair in Bicton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
