What affects the price in Norcott Hill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Norcott Hill. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
