Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Limekilns and want a price, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Questions from Limekilns
Which areas do you work in?
All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
