Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Acton Vale. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
