What affects the price in Slack
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Slack, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Slack
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
