About our sink repair in Buildwas
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What else we do in Buildwas
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Buildwas
Do you come to Buildwas?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Buildwas and the rest of Telford and Wrekin. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Buildwas?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Buildwas
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buildwas use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
