Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Wood Lanes
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
