What affects the price in Philleigh
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Philleigh. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
