Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

If you are in Stoke Bardolph and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace in Stoke Bardolph?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Stoke Bardolph

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.
