What affects the price in Shotwick

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shotwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Shotwick?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
