Sink repair at your home in Wokingham

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Wokingham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Wokingham: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
