Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

Kingscott: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Kingscott?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kingscott. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Kingscott

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Kingscott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
