Honest limits

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Low Common questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Low Common included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
