Questions from Watnall

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watnall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Watnall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Watnall. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
