What affects the price in Boncath

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Boncath

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Boncath?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Boncath

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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 happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
