Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mitcham. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Mitcham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Mitcham questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
