Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Harton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Harton
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of South Tyneside?
All of South Tyneside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
