How to compare quotes

Common questions in Hardwick Wood

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Hardwick Wood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Hardwick Wood

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hardwick Wood. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace in Hardwick Wood?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
