Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bookham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Bookham
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

Questions from Bookham
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Bookham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bookham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Bookham
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
