Middle Hulton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Middle Hulton

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Middle Hulton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

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

Landlord and trade work in Middle Hulton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

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.

What we’re called out for in Middle Hulton

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Common reasons people in Middle Hulton contact us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

Comparing quotes

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 frequently lifts.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Middle Hulton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
