Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Hackney Wick

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin

If you are in Hackney Wick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Hackney Wick

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackney Wick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
