Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pant. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Pant

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How much does sink repair cost in Pant?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Pant. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pant. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Pant

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
