- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our pricing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
