Repairing versus replacing in Boroughbridge

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Boroughbridge: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Boroughbridge.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Honest limits

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boroughbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
