Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Lopen
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Lopen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
