Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need sink repair in Stonehouse
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
