Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Lancaster

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lancaster. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
