Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Southrey: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Southrey. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
