DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Bayswater, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Bayswater
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
