Sink & basin repair in Smith's Wood, Warwickshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Smith's Wood, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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 repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about sink repair in Smith's Wood
Do you cover Smith's Wood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Smith's Wood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
