Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Duston. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Duston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace in Duston?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Duston questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
