- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.

- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Friar's Hill
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
