FAQs for Hearnden Green

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Sink repair at your home in Hearnden Green

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hearnden Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hearnden Green

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hearnden Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
