What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Waddon customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Waddon: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Signs you need sink repair in Waddon

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
