What affects the price in Hardwick
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
