What affects the price in West End
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
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.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
