Repairing versus replacing in Frenchay
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. 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’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Frenchay: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Frenchay?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Frenchay and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need sink repair in Frenchay?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
