What affects the price in Hempstead
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hempstead. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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 pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hempstead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
