Martinslade questions

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wiltshire.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Martinslade?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Martinslade and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Most clients in Martinslade get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

When to call us in Martinslade

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
