What affects the price in Rocester

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rocester. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally 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 photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Rocester

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Rocester?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
