Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Eltisley

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Eltisley. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eltisley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eltisley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
