Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wain Lee. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Wain Lee
How much does sink repair cost in Wain Lee?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Wain Lee
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
