Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Coombe. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Coombe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about sink repair in Coombe
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
