What affects the price in Hawbush Green

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size

Hawbush Green questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hawbush Green.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you come to Hawbush Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hawbush Green and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawbush Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
