Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
