Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Highfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
