Common questions in Little Wenlock
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Little Wenlock?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Little Wenlock and the rest of Telford and Wrekin. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Wenlock. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need sink repair in Little Wenlock
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
