Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we handle sink repair in Wardhill
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wardhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Wardhill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wardhill. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Wardhill
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Repairing versus replacing in Wardhill
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

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

Wardhill questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
