Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dunkirk. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Dunkirk questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Dunkirk?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Dunkirk

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
