What affects the price in Burrough Green

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Burrough Green

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Burrough Green

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
