Sink repair in North Wootton without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Wootton as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
