How we handle sink repair in Upper Wellingham
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Upper Wellingham: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
