FAQs for Lumb
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Lumb?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lumb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Landlord and trade work in Lumb
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Lumb
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For a price in Lumb, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
