Little Totham questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Little Totham included. Travel is included in the price.

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
