Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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 your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Terregles
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Terregles. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
Most customers in Terregles get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Terregles: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Terregles included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
