Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Acton Burnell
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
