Common questions in East Woodlands

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to East Woodlands?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to East Woodlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in East Woodlands

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
