Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Havering-atte-Bower
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
