Repairing versus replacing in Cronton
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you restore period basins?

Other services in Cronton
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Cronton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cronton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cronton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
