Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ruscombe. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
