Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Redmire

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Redmire: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Redmire?

We do. Technicians travel to Redmire from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL8 postcode.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
