Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barrow-in-Furness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
For a price in Barrow-in-Furness, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in Barrow-in-Furness
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
