Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Nethertown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nethertown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Nethertown: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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 let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Nethertown?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need sink repair in Nethertown

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Nethertown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Nethertown

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Nethertown. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not 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.
