Common questions in Hixon

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hixon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
