- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle sink repair in Weetwood
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Weetwood
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
