What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Washfield clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

  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.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Washfield get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Washfield

For anyone letting property in or around Washfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need sink repair in Washfield

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
