Repair or replace: which is better?

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Heaton
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
