Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
