How we handle sink repair in Old Wolverton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from Old Wolverton
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
