Common questions in Carmyle

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Carmyle

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carmyle use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Carmyle

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Carmyle

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
