Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
