Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Hampreston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
