FAQs for Bothel

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Bothel?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Sink repair at your home in Bothel

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bothel

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
