Sink repair in Welbourn without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Welbourn: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does sink repair cost in Welbourn?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Welbourn and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Landlord and trade work in Welbourn

For anyone letting property in or around Welbourn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
