Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need sink repair in Scholar Green

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Questions from Scholar Green

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Scholar Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scholar Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
