What affects the price in Apperknowle
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
