A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle sink repair in Wash Common
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. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Wash Common
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Signs you need sink repair in Wash Common
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
