About our sink repair in Wangford
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wangford. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Wangford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
