Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Ketteringham

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ketteringham. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ketteringham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions to ask before you book

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
