What affects the price in Churchill

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Most clients in Churchill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Churchill

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Churchill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Churchill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Churchill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Churchill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
