How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Sinderland Green

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Sinderland Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sinderland Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Sinderland Green?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
