Repairing versus replacing in Markington
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
