What affects the price in Biggar

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Biggar, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Biggar questions

Do you cover Biggar?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Biggar. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When to call us in Biggar

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
