When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Middle Aston. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Middle Aston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
