What affects the price in Crosshill

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crosshill

If you manage property in Crosshill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in Crosshill?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Crosshill

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Crosshill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crosshill and the rest of Fife. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
