Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Polmear questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Polmear is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.

- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
