Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Earley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Earley

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wokingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Lower Earley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Common reasons people in Lower Earley contact us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What affects the price in Lower Earley

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
