About our sink repair in Nailwell
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Nailwell
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nailwell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Nailwell
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Nailwell
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When to call us in Nailwell
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
