What affects the price in Stow Longa

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stow Longa. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For a price in Stow Longa, 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.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Stow Longa

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
