The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Gosmore

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gosmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gosmore

For anyone letting property in or around Gosmore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Gosmore: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Gosmore. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Gosmore?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

10 questions to ask before booking

Period and antique

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