When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Upper Coll

What we are called out for in Upper Coll

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Common reasons people in Upper Coll contact us are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Upper Coll

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Upper Coll?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
