Questions from Draycott

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Draycott?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Draycott and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Draycott?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Draycott

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
