Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
