Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ilketshall St Lawrence questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilketshall St Lawrence
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
