Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Bretby
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it

Bretby questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
