How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Kirkmichael

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Kirkmichael

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkmichael

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkmichael use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
