What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Mill Hill: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Mill Hill

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Mill Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Mill Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
