10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Papplewick

For anyone letting property in or around Papplewick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
