Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Skimpot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we’re called out for in Skimpot
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.

Getting a price
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’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us

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 and leave the character intact.
