Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Anthorn. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anthorn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Anthorn
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
