Repair or replace in Gallows Green?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. In an older home in a village like Gallows Green, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Gallows Green
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
If you manage a building such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gallows Green. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
