What else we do in Pilley
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
FAQs for Pilley
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Pilley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pilley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Most clients in Pilley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
