Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

FAQs for Plealey

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK, so Plealey is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Plealey

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
