What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chelston

Repair or replace in Chelston?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Chelston

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Chelston questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chelston. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
