Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle sink repair in Fox Hollies
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fox Hollies
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Fox Hollies
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are there extra charges for Fox Hollies?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
