Repairing versus replacing in Calenick
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Calenick
For anyone letting property in or around Calenick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
