What affects the price in Foxley

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

FAQs for Foxley

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Foxley

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Foxley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Landlord and trade work in Foxley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxley 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
