Repairing versus replacing in Hatton
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hatton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Hatton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Hatton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hatton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Most customers in Hatton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
