Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Bourne. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Lower Bourne

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Bourne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Lower Bourne

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 usually the cheaper route.
