Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

FAQs for Almshouse Green
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Almshouse Green.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
