  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about sink repair in Wash Water

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What affects the price in Wash Water

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
