Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Halam get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Halam

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Halam: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
