What affects the price in Mixenden

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Mixenden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Mixenden

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Mixenden

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

Landlord and trade work in Mixenden

For anyone letting property in or around Mixenden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
