For anyone letting property in or around Brockley Whins, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brockley Whins. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
