Questions from Reydon Smear

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Reydon Smear?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Reydon Smear from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

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.

What we’re called out for in Reydon Smear

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
