Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Jacobstowe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings

FAQs for Jacobstowe
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Jacobstowe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Jacobstowe
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
