How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. 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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wellbrook. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Wellbrook questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
How much does sink repair cost in Wellbrook?

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
