Great Longstone: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Longstone and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you cover Great Longstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Longstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
