Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When to call us in Maesygwartha

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Maesygwartha

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Maesygwartha?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
