When to call us in Latcham

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Sink repair at your home in Latcham

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Latcham. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Latcham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Latcham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

Honest limits

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

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Latcham

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

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

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.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
