Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Raymond's Hill. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Raymond's Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
