About our sink repair in Church Wilne
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Church Wilne as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Church Wilne
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE72 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
