Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Appledore Heath. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Appledore Heath
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Appledore Heath
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
FAQs for Appledore Heath
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Appledore Heath?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
