10 questions to ask before you book

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Bredon clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Bredon

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bredon: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
