DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Burstallhill

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burstallhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Antique & period basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Burstallhill

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
