Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Charlcombe
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
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 without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Charlcombe

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go 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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
