Common questions in Hengrove
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Hengrove
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Hengrove
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Hengrove
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
