Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Widespread crazing

Common questions in Cobham
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Cobham
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, 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’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
