What affects the price in Polzeath

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Polzeath. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairing versus replacing in Polzeath

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
