FAQs for Woodham Mortimer

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are there extra charges for Woodham Mortimer?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need sink repair in Woodham Mortimer?

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:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

  • Who will actually do the work

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t 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.
