Common questions in Pathhead
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pathhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pathhead, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Pathhead
If you manage property in Pathhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

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