Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cape Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
FAQs for Cape Hill
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Cape Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need sink repair in Cape Hill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Cape Hill?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
