How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Questions from Bunbury

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Bunbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bunbury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Repair or replace in Bunbury?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in Bunbury

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

For anyone letting property in or around Bunbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Bunbury, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
