Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Wilbraham. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Great Wilbraham questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work in Great Wilbraham?
We do. We send a technician to Great Wilbraham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
