Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Patna

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you work in Patna?

We do. Technicians travel to Patna from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we’re called out for in Patna

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Landlord and trade work in Patna

If you manage property in Patna, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
