Questions from Great Thirkleby
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
