Should you replace it?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Boxted
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
