Landlords, agents and businesses in West Byfleet

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in West Byfleet

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

West Byfleet questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Common problems we fix in West Byfleet

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
