Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Birchwood. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Birchwood, 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.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
