Common questions in South Rauceby

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to South Rauceby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Rauceby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to South Rauceby. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Do you need sink repair in South Rauceby?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

Comparing quotes

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in South Rauceby

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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