Advice

About our sink repair in Wellhouse

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Wellhouse

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Wellhouse

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you work in Wellhouse?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wellhouse and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does sink repair cost in Wellhouse?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
