Questions from Townhill

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Townhill?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Townhill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
