Repairing versus replacing in Browns Green

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Browns Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Browns Green questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Browns Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Browns Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Browns Green?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
