Questions from Milton-under-Wychwood

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Milton-under-Wychwood. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

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

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
