What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Templecombe?

We do. Technicians travel to Templecombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
