Lydd: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Lydd?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

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 we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need sink repair in Lydd

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lydd. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Lydd, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
