What affects the price in Rishton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
