How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

What affects the price in Emborough

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Emborough. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Emborough and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Emborough

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Emborough

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
