Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Thursford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
