FAQs for Tansor
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
