What affects the price in Waterfront
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Waterfront
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Waterfront
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Waterfront. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Advice
Waterfront questions
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
