Sink repair in Wainfelin without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.

Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Wainfelin questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Wainfelin
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
