Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Weald questions
Do you come to Weald?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Weald for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Weald?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weald as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
