- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Slimbridge
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Slimbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
