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. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
What affects the price in Freethorpe
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Freethorpe
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How quickly can you book me in?
