Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
