Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Werburghs. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in St Werburghs

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you cover the entire of Bristol?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When to call us in St Werburghs

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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