Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Foel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Foel questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Foel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
