Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Dibden Purlieu

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Dibden Purlieu?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dibden Purlieu

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
