What affects the price in Lawrence Hill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Lawrence Hill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Lawrence Hill
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are there extra charges for Lawrence Hill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Lawrence Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lawrence Hill and the rest of Bracknell Forest. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Lawrence Hill
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bracknell Forest and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
