What we are called out for in Hackness

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are 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 clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Hackness questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What affects the price in Hackness

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hackness. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
