Common questions in Teynham Street

Do you come to Teynham Street?

We do. Technicians travel to Teynham Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Teynham Street. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Teynham Street and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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