Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
Take a look at our pricing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Garras: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you cover Garras?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garras and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
