Questions from Coddenham

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Coddenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coddenham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Coddenham

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
