Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
FAQs for Barling
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What else we do in Barling
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
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.
Common problems we fix in Barling
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking
