Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in New Hythe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
