Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Blackmore
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
