FAQs for Wanlip
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What affects the price in Wanlip
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wanlip
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
