Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ainsty. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ainsty questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Ainsty?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ainsty and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ainsty, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
