What affects the price in Smeeton Westerby
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Smeeton Westerby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When to call us in Smeeton Westerby
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

Common questions in Smeeton Westerby
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
