Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
