What affects the price in Kettlethorpe
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Kettlethorpe
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
