When we’d advise against a repair

Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Boughton Green
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
