Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Grange-over-Sands, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
