Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dursley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Do you need sink repair in Dursley?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin

Dursley: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Dursley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Dursley
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
