Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners
Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Coombe

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Coombe. The price depends on:

The type of damage
How many areas need work
The colour and finish to match
How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
One picture of the entire basin
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

We clean the basin and check the damage.
Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
The repair is polished so it blends in.
The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Let the surface dry out before the visit
