10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

Woodham Walter: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Woodham Walter?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woodham Walter and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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