Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Great Tey
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
