Common questions in Hutchesontown
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hutchesontown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

When to call us in Hutchesontown
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Also in Hutchesontown
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
