Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Highstreet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Highstreet
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Highstreet questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you work in Highstreet?
We do. Technicians travel to Highstreet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Highstreet included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
