Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Raby

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Raby?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Raby

For anyone letting property in or around Raby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Raby: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Raby included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH63 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
