Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Kidlington, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kidlington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kidlington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Kidlington
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
