Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our full price list.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Llechryd

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llechryd as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to compare quotes

Llechryd: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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