Spellbrook: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Common problems we fix in Spellbrook

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Spellbrook customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Spellbrook. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
