Repairing versus replacing in Garston
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Garston
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Garston questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Garston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Garston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
