Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including North Wootton. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

North Wootton questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so North Wootton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
