Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.

Leagrave questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Luton.

Advice
When to call us in Leagrave

- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking

- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
What affects the price in Leagrave
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leagrave. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
