Repair or replace in New Byth?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. 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.

When to call us in New Byth

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in New Byth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
