FAQs for Parham
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Parham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
About our sink repair in Parham
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we’re called out for in Parham
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Parham
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Parham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Advice

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
