About our sink repair in Well Head

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Well Head

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step

On the day, 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 couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Well Head

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about sink repair in Well Head

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Are there extra charges for Well Head?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Well Head, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
