Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why West End clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in West End

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
