What affects the price in Deveral

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Deveral get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Deveral

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Deveral: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you come to Deveral?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Deveral and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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