Common questions in Horne

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When to call us in Horne

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Horne?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that 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.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
