Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Everywhere in the UK, Taxal included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
