Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Stowell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Stowell
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Stowell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
