Repairing versus replacing in Pitsford
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Questions from Pitsford
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: 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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
