Repairing versus replacing in Priddy
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Priddy
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Priddy: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
Across the UK, so Priddy is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
What affects the price in Priddy
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Priddy. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
