DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle sink repair in Waddicar
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waddicar. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
