Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Moreland
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moreland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Moreland: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
