Common questions in Bourne

Do you cover Bourne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Bourne

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Bourne get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
