What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Graveley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Graveley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Repairing versus replacing in Graveley
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
