Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to High Wych. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in High Wych, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in High Wych

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in High Wych

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

High Wych: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes High Wych. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
