What affects the price in Lilstock
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Lilstock questions
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
