Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
