Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Wanswell: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
The entire UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wanswell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
