Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinchley Wood

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hinchley Wood: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hinchley Wood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Hinchley Wood

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
