Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we work on in Latchingdon

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Latchingdon

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you come to Latchingdon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Latchingdon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Latchingdon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
