Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claverton Down as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
FAQs for Claverton Down
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Claverton Down?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Claverton Down and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
