Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Land Gate. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Land Gate, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Land Gate questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
