Repair or replace in Old Basford?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Questions from Old Basford
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
