  • One price list for the whole UK

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Childs Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Common problems we fix in Childs Hill

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

  • Crazing in the glaze

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Childs Hill

Are there extra charges for Childs Hill?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
