Common questions in Colliers Wood

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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