Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Elswick
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
