Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
