Advice

Great Bricett questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover Great Bricett?

We do. Technicians travel to Great Bricett from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Bricett. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Great Bricett?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
