Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Raploch

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Raploch?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Raploch. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Raploch included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Raploch

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 price, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

When to call us in Raploch

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Raploch

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Raploch

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
