Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Daubhill questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you come to Daubhill?
We do. Technicians travel to Daubhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
All of Bolton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Daubhill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
