What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Gossington

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Gossington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Gossington

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gossington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from Gossington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Gossington?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you restore period basins?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
