Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ludford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Ludford

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
