Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Forncett St Mary. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Forncett St Mary
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Forncett St Mary
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
