Swilland questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Swilland, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Swilland
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
