Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Berwick-upon-Tweed questions
Can you fix basins in a rental near Berwick-Upon-Tweed station?
Yes. We repair basins between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.
Can you repair basins at a school or business in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repairing versus replacing in Berwick-upon-Tweed
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In a town like Berwick-upon-Tweed, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
