Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Elvaston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Elvaston
Are there extra charges for Elvaston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Elvaston?
We do. Technicians travel to Elvaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When to call us in Elvaston
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Elvaston
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
