DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Minsmere
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Minsmere, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
