Repairing versus replacing in Child Okeford
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

If you manage property in Child Okeford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Child Okeford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
