Common questions in Lyminster

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lyminster.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyminster

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

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

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
