Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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 photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rumbling Street

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need sink repair in Rumbling Street

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.
