Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Maidenhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Maidenhall
If you manage property in Maidenhall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Maidenhall
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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.

Questions from Maidenhall
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
