Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Winterbourne Bassett

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Winterbourne Bassett and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Winterbourne Bassett

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterbourne Bassett

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Winterbourne Bassett questions

When can you do it?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
