Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to London Apprentice. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
