Common Side questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide, so Common Side is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What affects the price in Common Side
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Common Side
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
