Cosham questions
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Portsmouth?
All of Portsmouth, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Cosham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cosham and the rest of Portsmouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What affects the price in Cosham
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common problems we fix in Cosham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
