What affects the price in Whetstone
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
