Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Common questions in Whinmoor

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Whinmoor. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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