If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Trevone

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Trevone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Trevone and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
