Gussage St Michael: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Gussage St Michael and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you need sink repair in Gussage St Michael?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gussage St Michael

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
