Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Llandderfel: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gwynedd.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are there extra charges for Llandderfel?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Llandderfel

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
