Repair or replace in Thornliebank?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Thornliebank get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
