Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Church Laneham

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For a price in Church Laneham, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Laneham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
