What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Washington
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Washington
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For a price in Washington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 quote.

FAQs for Washington
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
