DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Debden
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Debden?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Debden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
