How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Watlington without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Watlington. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Watlington questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Watlington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
