Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Breasclete: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Breasclete?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Breasclete?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Breasclete for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we are called out for in Breasclete

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Breasclete as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Breasclete

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Breasclete. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
