About our sink repair in Great Wilne
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Great Wilne: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
