What affects the price in Colney Street
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Other services in Colney Street
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Colney Street
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
