What affects the price in Bastwell
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Bastwell
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
