DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cobhall Common. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
