Hitcham questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
If you are in Hitcham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hitcham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Hitcham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
When to call us in Hitcham
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairing versus replacing in Hitcham
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
