Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Brent Pelham?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Brent Pelham

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Brent Pelham

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brent Pelham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Brent Pelham questions

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brent Pelham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Brent Pelham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
