When to call us in Hoe

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Hoe

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Hoe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Hoe: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Hoe and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
