Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Codicote Bottom
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
Codicote Bottom questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
