Questions from Sandway

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Avoid abrasive pads
Keep straighteners away from the basin
Repair chips before they stain
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

A basin cracked through and leaking
Leaks from the fittings
A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Sandway

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sandway. The price comes down to:

The material and finish
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Unusual colours or finishes
How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A picture taken from further back
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
The area is degreased and keyed.
Filler is built up and sanded flush.
Colour and gloss are matched.
We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
