Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in St Columb Major, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Columb Major use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in St Columb Major

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price
