Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Palfrey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Palfrey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Palfrey

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Palfrey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
