Trimdon: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Trimdon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Trimdon and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What affects the price in Trimdon
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trimdon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trimdon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets

What else we do in Trimdon
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
