FAQs for Janetstown
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover Janetstown?
We do. We send a technician to Janetstown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Janetstown
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Janetstown. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Janetstown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
