Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Barrington
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Barrington
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
