When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Stowey

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Stowey and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

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

Common problems we fix in Stowey

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Stowey

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Stowey is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
