Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Middlecliffe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Middlecliffe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Middlecliffe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middlecliffe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
