Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Sink repair in Seaburn Dene without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners
Don’t overtighten taps
Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlord and trade work in Seaburn Dene

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Seaburn Dene

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

The material and finish
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Your postcode, so we can check dates
The material, if you know it
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
We match the colour by hand.
We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

Clear the area around the damage
Let us know which floor the room is on
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
