How soon can you come?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When to call us in Birts Street

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Gregory, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere as small as Birts Street, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For a price in Birts Street, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Birts Street
