Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Folkingham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Folkingham

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Folkingham

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
