Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Six Ashes, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Six Ashes

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Six Ashes: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WV15 postcode.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Six Ashes included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
