Repairing versus replacing in Challaborough
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Challaborough
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll 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.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
