Why repair rather than replace?

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How quickly can you book me in?

What information do you need?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Trowbridge
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Trowbridge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trowbridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trowbridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
