Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Flamstead
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Flamstead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Flamstead?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Flamstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Flamstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Flamstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
