Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Clayworth
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How much does sink repair cost in Clayworth?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
