Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
FAQs for New Addington
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in New Addington
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
