How to compare quotes

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Indian Queens, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Indian Queens

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Indian Queens. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Indian Queens

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

What affects the price in Indian Queens

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Indian Queens. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
