Great Offley questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you cover Great Offley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Offley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
