Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Ellicombe
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellicombe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
