Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Temple Bar
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple Bar as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Temple Bar: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Temple Bar?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
