Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Rotherham.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
