What affects the price in Greta Bridge
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Most customers in Greta Bridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
