Repairing versus replacing in Cardrona Village
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Cardrona Village
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Advice
Cardrona Village questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Cardrona Village?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cardrona Village for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
