Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Malpas questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you come to Malpas?

We do. We send a technician to Malpas for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
