Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Glasbury. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Glasbury

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we’re called out for in Glasbury

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
