Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Questions from Groombridge

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Groombridge.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Groombridge included. There is no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Groombridge

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on
