Repairing versus replacing in Elford
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Elford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Questions from Elford
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Elford.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
