DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Great Plumstead
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Great Plumstead?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
