Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
