Common questions in Caistor St Edmund

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caistor St Edmund.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we’re called out for in Caistor St Edmund

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Caistor St Edmund

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Caistor St Edmund. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.
