Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in New Milton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Milton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Questions from New Milton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
