FAQs for West Hewish

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so West Hewish is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around West Hewish, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Most customers in West Hewish get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in West Hewish

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Hewish. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
