Repair or replace: which is better?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Morningthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Morningthorpe
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we are called out for in Morningthorpe
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
