What affects the price in Belgrave
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
