What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairing versus replacing in Cowley
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cowley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
