Questions from Horsley
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Horsley.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need sink repair in Horsley?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
