Repair or replace in Rickling Green?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rickling Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Rickling Green
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Rickling Green: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
