10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gorslas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gorslas, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Gorslas

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you come to Gorslas?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gorslas. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Gorslas

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
