Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
