DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in East Chinnock

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for East Chinnock

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
