What affects the price in Lee Mount

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Lee Mount

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Lee Mount

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

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 and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lee Mount. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
