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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Colne Bridge

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

Across the UK, so Colne Bridge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Do you need sink repair in Colne Bridge?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
