Repairing versus replacing in Etherley Grange
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
When to call us in Etherley Grange
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Etherley Grange
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Etherley Grange. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
