Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

What affects the price in Robertsbridge

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

FAQs for Robertsbridge

Is there a guarantee?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Robertsbridge?

We do. We send a technician to Robertsbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
