How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in West Horrington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around West Horrington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

FAQs for West Horrington

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in West Horrington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Horrington and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
