Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice
Common questions in Laxton
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
