Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Lydeard. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in East Lydeard, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in East Lydeard

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets

- A basin cracked through and leaking
