DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Charfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Charfield
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
