FAQs for Wansford

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Do you need sink repair in Wansford?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wansford. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Composite and resin
