DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Breach
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What affects the price in Breach
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in Breach
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
