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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Galley Common
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Galley Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Galley Common
Do you cover Galley Common?
We do. We send a technician to Galley Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
