Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Sink repair in Cutlers Green, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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 the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Signs you need sink repair in Cutlers Green

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Cutlers Green

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cutlers Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
