Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material

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

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
