Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

What affects the price in Lower Rainham

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lower Rainham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Rainham

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Lower Rainham

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Rainham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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