Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d 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)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early

- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
