Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blackheath. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SE3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Blackheath

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Blackheath questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you come to Blackheath?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackheath and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
