Well End questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Well End included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Well End?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Well End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
