Repairing versus replacing in Etteridge
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Etteridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we are called out for in Etteridge
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
