Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DN11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bircotes questions

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 work in Bircotes?

We do. Technicians travel to Bircotes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?

Everywhere in the UK, Bircotes included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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 we are called out for in Bircotes

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
