What affects the price in Mary Tavy

- How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
