What affects the price in Littlebourne

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Littlebourne: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Littlebourne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Littlebourne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Signs you need sink repair in Littlebourne

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
