Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
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.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Five Wents
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Five Wents?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Five Wents and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
