Questions from Nemphlar
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Looking after it afterwards

- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
