Abbotswood questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Repairing versus replacing in Abbotswood
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Abbotswood
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
