Common questions in Woodlands St Mary

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands St Mary use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodlands St Mary. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
