What affects the price in Old Somerby
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Old Somerby
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Questions from Old Somerby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Old Somerby.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
