Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Preston Capes
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Preston Capes
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
