Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunnersbury
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunnersbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Gunnersbury
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
