Questions from Lydiard Millicent

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Lydiard Millicent?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What affects the price in Lydiard Millicent

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Lydiard Millicent and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
