FAQs for Keld

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keld use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repair or replace in Keld?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Materials we work on in Keld

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

What we’re called out for in Keld

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
