What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched 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
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dean as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Dean: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Dean?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dean for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dean. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
