Questions from Wormingford
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
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.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wormingford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wormingford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Wormingford
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wormingford. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Wormingford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Wormingford
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
