10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Lower Swell

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Lower Swell

Do you cover Lower Swell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lower Swell. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Swell

If you manage property in Lower Swell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
