What else we do in Gorsley Common
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Gorsley Common questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Gorsley Common?
We do. We send a technician to Gorsley Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Gorsley Common?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
