Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Darmsden. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
