What affects the price in Shide
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shide. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, 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.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
