Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Stratherrick

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV2 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Stratherrick customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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.
