What affects the price in Test Valley

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Test Valley. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Test Valley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Test Valley

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Test Valley

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Common problems we fix in Test Valley

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
