Repairing versus replacing in Ruislip Gardens
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
When to call us in Ruislip Gardens
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Ruislip Gardens
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
