Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Havenstreet

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions from Havenstreet

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Havenstreet?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Havenstreet from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Havenstreet as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Havenstreet

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
