Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Spen Brook and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Spen Brook
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
