Sink & basin repair in Wansford, Northamptonshire
Our repair technicians come to Wansford for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Sink repair in Wansford, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Wansford
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Wansford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wansford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
