DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Sink repair at your home in Wath
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Wath: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Wath?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wath. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Repairing versus replacing in Wath
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
