Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Workhouse Common. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Workhouse Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Workhouse Common questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Workhouse Common?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR12 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
