Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shotton Colliery. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
