Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Corby

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped vanity basin
