Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about sink repair in Shawclough
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Shawclough?
We do. We send a technician to Shawclough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
