Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ditchling Common. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ditchling Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Ditchling Common

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
