Common questions in Egerton Forstal

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlord and trade work in Egerton Forstal

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Egerton Forstal

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Egerton Forstal. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
