Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Same prices wherever you are

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Gateside
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you need sink repair in Gateside?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
