Trusted sink repair in Wardhedges

Sink repair at your home in Wardhedges

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Wardhedges questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK45 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Wardhedges

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Wardhedges, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Wardhedges

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for these signs:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
