Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowerhouses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowerhouses use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
What affects the price in Lowerhouses
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lowerhouses. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
