What affects the price in Little Chester
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Chester. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 typically the cheaper route.
