Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Long Preston: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you come to Long Preston?

We do. We send a technician to Long Preston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Long Preston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in Long Preston

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Preston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
