What affects the price in Hardwick
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Hardwick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Hardwick: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are there extra charges for Hardwick?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Hardwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hardwick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Hardwick
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Hardwick
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
