Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Sink repair in Tycroes without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Tycroes: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When to call us in Tycroes
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tycroes. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tycroes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
