Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Byrness: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Byrness and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Byrness

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Byrness

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Byrness, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Byrness

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
