About our sink repair in Waresley
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waresley as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Waresley

- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
