Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Arlington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Arlington questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Arlington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Arlington and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Arlington
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
