Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sink repair in Bromley Common, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Bromley Common

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
