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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gowhole. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers

- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Gowhole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
