What affects the price in Hutton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Questions from Hutton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hutton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
