Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in South Tottenham

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Tottenham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in South Tottenham

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to compare quotes

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in South Tottenham

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
