What affects the price in Shaw

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shaw. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
