FAQs for Playing Place
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Playing Place?
We do. We send a technician to Playing Place for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Playing Place, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Playing Place
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
